| We are Marketing Professionals...
primarily
a manufacturer's representative entity serving the upper great plains area.
We specialize in representing manufacturers who produce furniture that
provides extraordinary value to the user, with superior design and engineering
approaches that enrich environments years or even generations after the
original acquisition.
With an education in journalism and the sciences, and a background in technical publications, engineering support and marketing communications management with an electronics manufacturer, then marketing communications and marketing management with a Fortune 500 office furniture manufacturer, care-giving led to the desire to office closer to home, resulting in this company. We founded the company to do marketing and management consulting; it evolved into a manufacturer's representative firm. I have been a manufacturer's representative for about 15 years, as principal of the company. When consulting, we have worked with a limited number of clients at any one time. We worked as partners with the client, learning their business and understanding the underlying causes for their perceived needs. In representing manufacturers, we have always worked with very few manufacturers: people in whom we believe, who produce high-quality products that can be instrumental in solving the client's core needs. Most of our manufacturers have welcomed our design and marketing inputs, sometimes on an official consulting basis, sometimes less formally. We work closely with our clients and, again, try to help them resolve their underlying problems with solutions that endure. The products we represent provide strong ergonomic and economic advantages, and relate directly to health care providers and other institutional users. I spend significant discretionary time working with people who have workplace induced injuries, and find their improvement gratifying, and working with individuals and organizations interested in reducing or preventing these difficulties. I have presented my ergonomic concepts to groups ranging from very large (~1100 in attendance) to very small, with highly positive reception, and enduring change reported from those attending. Thank you for taking the time to look this page over; you might well find some useful ideas here. We welcome your comments, criticisms, feedback. Cheers!

AmFab overbed tables provide solid, no-nonsense construction, combined with highly desirable feature and benefit combinations, at surprisingly low pricing.
|
AmFab manufactures overbed and other steel tables for use in acute and long-term care facilities. AmFab tables are extraordinarily heavy-duty. They manufacture the only bariatric overbed table currently available, designed to sustain an evenly-distrubuted load of 500 pounds (users often lean on their overbed tables). All AmFab tables are designed to move up automatically with the bed's upward movement, to prevent tipping or possible injury. Exceptionally solid, well-designed and constructed, AmFab tables are surprisingly economical, with models that perform the functions you need, with affordable pricing.. AmFab produces models with split tops (providing
more usable surface area, and ensuring some area will be available when
needed), and models with spill-containing tops, dual handles and dual cup
holders with flexible tabs, easily removed for cleaning. The model at left
incorporates all these features, and a vanity that opens to either side
of the table top.
